Jessica Van Pelt is a veteran recruiter and recent founder of The Pegasus Agency. She is also the talent acquisition specialist for our own On Air Brands. Jessica is new to the entrepreneur game, so we get to go along for the ride on how she recently started her own company. She talks about resilience, handling rejection, being a therapist, and letting go of control in order to scale. We also learn how recruiting is a lot like real estate investing, and how creating a Call of Duty gaming community laid the foundation for her leadership talent!
